I would hate getting up in the middle of the night EXCEPT that it gives me great opportunity to meet with God. The nights I can't sleep are special times. Tonight He gave me this poem. I wonder what tomorrow night will hold.

 

 

Before my mind gets cluttered
With thoughts of another day
Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray

While others are in slumber
Dreaming all their cares away
Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray

And while this day is dawning
Before sorrows come my way
Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray

Tonight when I am weary
Still one thing I'll want to say
"Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray"

"Whom have I in heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever."

Psalm 73:25, 26

Connie this was so apropo!! I so often fall asleep in the midst of my long prayer list and often ask God to 'wake me early so I can pray'.

OH, CONNIE, THIS IS A KEEPER! I DON'T THINK THERE IS A CHILD OF GOD ALIVE WHO CANNOT RELATE TO THIS 'SO' NEEDED PLEA TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. A GEM! AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I simply could not retire for the evening without telling you how much I love this poem. And I do hope that my Father wakes me early, for I, most of all, need time to pray. Thank you for sharing this lovely God-inspired piece.

David
